Triple Talaq!?

I don’t know what world have I been living in, but apparently in Indian Muslims they follow a dogma called Triple Talaq. They believe it’s written in the Holy Quran that you can divorce a woman by just saying the word “talaq” three times to the woman at any moment. They are then free to marry anyone else, and no one cares if they pay alimony to the first wife or not.

This can’t be true right? I mean the news portrays the whole definition more or less as mentioned above.

In that regards tell me, Is the integrity and respect for a religion considered above than the integrity and respect for a person?
